My friend told me he has going to get one (and how it was going to represent something important to him), and I told him "how typical".

I'm not against tattoos at all it's just a lot of them that I've seen have been nonsense "i just feel like getting a tattoo" tattoo...like their name on their forearm in cursive or something stupid...it's like they forget that their permanent. I'm all for them if they look nice and have actual meaning though...

Just looks really plain and out of place, if you had it on your shoulder blade with a pattern around it then yeah it would look good.

[QUOTE="Atheos-Arkhaios"][QUOTE="IWKYB"] Oh, how would you see it then? Really...IWKYB

You're implication is suggesting that I would also pre-judge the person? You know nothing about me then, and this conversation is pointless if you think I'm just blowing smoke up your ***, so I'll stop.

No I am not. I'm asking what would you think or if you would see it like it, you are really throwing that saint, me being a judge/jury and executioner act around to avoid a real answer...seriously it seems you may have some of these tats yourself or your favorite team lost yesterday or something...I never said I knew you or knew anything about you, it's the freaking net man. Chill, there is no need for foul language.

I don't have any tattoos myself, I reacted the way I did because of the snarky "Really...". I thought you were implying that I would react the same way you do. I apologize if you didn't mean it that way, I once again need a chill-pill on the forums, sorry. The way I react to tattoos is just to admire the artwork that people have added to themselves, regardless of whether it's something I would put on my own skin.

I've been planning on getting a tattoo or some sort. A lot of my friends have gotten tattoos, but nothing overly done. Maybe a little something on their shoulder or wrist. I was planning on getting something on my wrist actually. Nice and subtle. But that'll be something I'll do in the future.

[QUOTE="Treflis"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"][QUOTE="Treflis"]My little brother had our Middle names tattooed across his right forearm and told me the reason what " It's not only because I love myself, but also you brother" =P

This is why I would get Chinese letter or something. Tell your mom- I love you Mom Tell your Wife - I love you (name).

It's more risky to have Chinese letters in Tattoo's unless you actually know Chinese, one sybol can for instance mean a entire sentence and to us who are used to ABC letters many look very similar so the risk is higher that you have a tattoo that says "Donkey crap" rather then "inspiration" as you originally intended.

Or stick it in my butt...in Chinese...use something you can read yourselves people.

I have one tattoo on my back, between my shoulder blades. Nobody knows I have it until I go swimming or something. I'm getting one on my foot soon, and it's funny. I hate the argument, "you'll regret it later on in life" I like to live life here and now, I don't care if I hate it when I'm 65. I enjoyed it now so it was worth it!

No, he meant his friend doesn't know what it means. I'm pretty sure he does.

why does that make him an idiot? wouldn't it be more idiot to get a tattoo than a piercing? since, ya know, tattoos are permanent and piercings are not.

My girlfriend did that. I actually like it because it's subtle and kind of elegant in a way. If that was the only tattoo she had, it'd be great. It's the type of thing you'd only see if you're around that person a lot and then when you see it, you're kind of like, wow, this person has a different side to them.

The girl I fancy wants to get a tattoo for her upcoming birthday. I think her bare back is perfect the way it is. I should probably tell her that.

hmm...no, not really. I don't have a lot of friends so that leaves few to be gettting tats. I myself have a half sleeve on my left arm and started on a half sleeve on the right. Tattoos are becoming more popular tho.

I'd hope not, tattoos carry more or less no meaning for most people now. Some people get drunk, ink themselves only to wake up the next morning wondering wtf. Well, thats probably the case for some of my friends anyways, very plausible.

[QUOTE="IWKYB"][QUOTE="Atheos-Arkhaios"] Read the above post. Really man do people need trival tats in their bicep right after they go tan and hang with their bros and totally awesome afternoon dude!Atheos-Arkhaios
It doesn't seem to be my place to project meaning (or lack thereof) onto their tattoos, does it? So what if it seems dumb to you, maybe it means more to them then you may think. And if it doesn't, if it's just because it "looks cool", then I repeat, so what? It's their skin, it's not a big deal.

If it "looks" cool then I was right at saying they are getting them to get attention or "look at me". That is what we were talking about.

I have a tattoo of a guitar on my forearm, some people think it's stupid but it means a lot. And my dad's got one on his upper arm that isn't just to "look cool". Sure, the tattoos look cool, but we don't get them for attention.

Can't say my friends are doing that at the moment. Why are there always people up on their moral high ground saying that tattoos are just "look at me" brands?

Atheos-Arkhaios

Because for a lot of people, that's exactly what they are.

Sure, plenty of people have great and well thought out tattoos. But for example, something like half the girls I work with have a small butterfly or flower behind the ear, or "handlebars" above the ass. That kind of **** absolutely screams nothing more than "I got a tattoo because tats are popular, and these are the tats that the other girls are getting."

So society is responsible for these tats in the end. We are all guilty.
